Wonderful Lux Find
Terry,
Great Find!! And looks to be in spectacular shape!!!
I have very fond memories of that particular model. It was one of the first luxs I'd used in a very long time when I discovered it at the home of a high school friend. I remember being at that house "back in the day" (when her parents were gone) and vacuuming all the rooms on the first floor. (We had GREAT parties at that house, and of course, I lead the cleanup effort - the Master Vacuumer) It was a good size English Tutor with great burgandy, very short nap, tight weave carpet that was sooo much fun to vacuum. The PN-1 nozzle worked great with that carpet. Overall, the machine was so easy to maneuver, and very quite - it allowed me to go into my world. Can't wait to see it in person and do a memory run!!
Thanks for posting and see you soon!!

Oh Terry that's wonderful! It's an earlier one too with that power nozzle. I'll look forward to seeing it when I visit!

Terry that's a great find. Those 1205's are such a satisfying canister to vacuum with. The "Automatic Control" script on the front is so elegant. It always reminded me of the Cadillac my Mom had when I was a kid.
Golden Jubilee - Model 1205-J
Fred, you said you weren't sure if you've ever seen a Golden Jubilee 50th Anniversary model. Let me show you mine. Take a real close look and you can see some subtle differences between the Super J and this model. (The handle assembly is slighty different on the read end and it is about 1 inch shorter than the Super J)
